[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can't "back up on your computer", and you can't "drag and drop the files back". But there is enough backup software to cover everything (Titanium backup for apps & data, SMS backup, APN backup, Call log backup).

You don't have to wipe if you don't unlock the bootloader. But then you won't have the easy way of flashing from fastboot, either. And moving to most of the custom ROMs you have to wipe.

Flashing = loading anything into ROM. That can include superboot hack (root), kernel or complete custom ROM, or even custom updates like themes etc. There are explanations in both rooting guides in Development section, and there's Android 101 in General which you should read before continuing.

The ideal setting is not to overclock at all. If you do - then not above 1075 MHz, for battery savings (explained in wildmonk's kernel thread in Development, for example).

Again, I suggest you read some more before further questions. It seems that the concepts are far from clear.

[edit] Android 101 is here:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Keegan_P:
There is an app available which is able to run different interpreter, such as Python, it's name is AndroidScriptingEnvironment, and it's Google Code Homepage can be found here.

Now, there's a problem with this program running certain interpreters, to quote a list on the topic:

This is a problem, and it seems to be directed (at least for python) at the executable "__aeabi_dcmpun" not being able to be found. Here is the specific error:

reloc_library[1173]: 4241 cannot locate '__aeabi_dcmpun'...CANNOT LINK
EXECUTABLE

This happens when an expected Python Interpreter should be loaded.

This problem has also been experienced by Acer Liquid E users, as well as Dell Streak users (All of the platforms are using Android 1.6...).

The full discussion on the topic can be found here for any dev that is interested in helping us out, it would be greatly appreciated.

[Android Software Development] uglyb0b:
Moved to Evo/Android from iPhone about a month ago, and one thing I greatly miss is the "Quicklock" app.

It's very simple - an app or widget that locks/sleeps the phone immediately when pressed. I am lazy and don't like having to hit the top button.

I have found 1 or 2 apps that claim to do this on the market, but none of them seem to work for my Evo.

I read in a development forum that Android doesn't allow you to lock/sleep a phone (not without a delay anyway), so I'm thinking it would have to be a custom app that requires root.

I am begging the devs out there to make something like this, or if anyone happens to know of something that works, please turn me on to it.

Thanks

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] Joe333x:
you can use any 3.5mm FM transmitter but I can tell you from experience basically they all suck. You are better off investing in a stereo for your car that has a 3.5mm aux jack than using an FM transmitter.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] Phantisy:
I would cost way to much to put a stereo in my car that has a 3.5 audio jack. Luxury cars are not easy to install after market stereo's in :/

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] Phantisy:
I already know how much it will cost. First I have to pay someone to make a custom dash kit. Then ill have to buy a head unit and find a custom wiring harness. Trust me its cheaper to spend the money on an fm transmitter...
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] bled82:
You may want to look into getting a bluetooth adapter instead or your stereo may have an alt. input for a dvd player or other rear entertainment system . Most fm transmitters are not worth the money but you may be interested in an in lin one which would be worth it .

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] ProjektStreet:
Are you really that scared to touch the stereo? Just because you have Navigation doesn't mean that the stereo isn't the same as all other cars, you have 2 different wires for each speaker, then you have typicaly 3 to 4 other wires, one will be ground, one will be an always on power (memory, saves your settings/stations), and a rem wire which just gives enough power to the head unit to tell it to turn on. There might be another wire for the dimmer on the front of the radio. And you DONT have to splice the wires, ever heard of BestBuy or Car Toys? or anything like that? They sell ADAPTERs that you just install inline with the stock wiring harness and you do'nt have to cut any wires. You don't have to spend tons of money for a custom dash kit either, I know for a fact they sell them at Bestbuy and car toys, pretty much any place that deals with car audio. Seriously though man, all you have to do is a little more research. Google is your best friend, me amigo.

Don't be a *****, it's really not hard, and honestly, who still listens to radio anymore? I mean get real guy, gonna waste your money on a damn FM reciever instead of getting a radio that will have 10000000x more use? But hey, to each their own, your money, your problems. Not mine.

Regarding FM transmitters - I posted about the DesignTech transmitter a while back. Do a search and check it out. The correct channel versionstill pops up on ebay every now and then, and they are cheap.

If you can find the right version its frequency response and TX power are terrific, well, at least as far as FM TX go.

Hope this link doesnt violate TOS - if so please remove. But they dont sell it anymore, so I dont see the harm. http://www.smarthomeusa.com/ShopByManufacturer/DesignTech/Item/20800/

Of course I am biased - I helped design the audio section - but I would put its sound quality up against anything on the market...

This is a copy of my post in the Android Software and Hacking General Forum, which I am reposting here because I feel it will make it easier for HTC Aria users to find the version of HTC Sync that allows you to sideload applications on a non-rooted HTC Aria.

Hey guys, last week, I let Engadget know about an official version of HTC Sync that can sideload applications to a non-rooted Aria. HTC just pulled that version of Sync. However, I managed to get it before they pulled it, and I wanted to post this here to help others with an Aria get Sync 3.0.5372. I uploaded the file using MultiUpload, FileDropper, MediaFire, and a few others, and I'm mirroring it to other sites now. I'll upload this post as I add links.

Looks like they had a royal screw up. The price is $499 with out a contract.

Hey Kristie, sorry it took so long to get a response. We’ve reached out to the product manager to confirm the pricing. The latest pricing for the Captivate is $199 with 2 year agreement and smartphone data plan is required. The non-commitment pricing is $499.

i wouldnt waste that upgrade, there are still links to them false advertising up.

[Captivate General] tysj:
Hah glad my pretty drawn face is going to be used for battle
[Captivate General] systoxity:
@rahlquist no prob.

p.s. laws against this vary by state. But there are general american laws that help out too. Here are two ways you are protected from false advertising:

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act and the Lanham Act. Under the FTC Act, false advertising includes advertisements that make representations that the advertiser has no reasonable basis to believe, even if the representations turn out to be true. Only the Federal Trade Commission can enforce the FTC Act.

Private parties, such as consumers or competitors, can file a complaint for false advertising under the Lanham Act. To establish a violation under the Lanham Act, consumers and competitors must prove the following: (1) the advertiser made false statements of fact about its product; (2) the false advertisements actually deceived or had the capacity to deceive a substantial segment of the target population; (3) the deception was material; (4) the falsely advertised product was sold in interstate commerce; and (5) the party bringing the lawsuit (plaintiff) was injured as a result of the deception. Injury is construed as a likelihood of injury, rather than actual injury.

This is an exert from:

[Captivate General] jojorios:
Since it was posted on facebook/twitter and phones where sold at that price, wouldn't that follow under some law?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
yes, the ones i just posted.

however, theoretically if you or i tried to do buy the phone at 350 with knowledge before hand that it was an error then we would be S.o.L. theoretically a person would have to have no idea about the new price change and just happen to have documentation of where they saw their advertised price online.

so to keep it kosher, everyone that posts in this thread on why the price is 350 absolutely believes that the official price is 350 and that the 499 is an error. That way no one here is promoting anything that would be judged less than savory by others.
[Captivate General] NOSintake:
Thanks for the pictures. Going to print these out for Sunday just in case
[Captivate General] abezapata:
just got off the phone with the local corporate att store and they told me 499.99 out of contract. Wth is going on? if i take these pictures on sunday will i get the phone for 350???
[Captivate General] droiddadi:
I really doubt. I am also gonna do the same.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
After calling 3 more stores around the area i got 3 different responses:

1. We do not sell that phone out of contract.

2. We we will not be carrying the phone for another 2-3 weeks.

3. We do not know the price of the phone yet.

This is really frustrating.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
Abezapata, the best answer is maybe. It really depends on your delivery and who you are talking to. Ive never heard of how att responds to false advertising claims. I wouldn't get my hopes up too high though.

In anycase, you have nothing to lose. Try to buy it for 350, show them their advertisements and price claims, use some strong language such as this is false advertising and let me speak to your manager, and if all else fails threaten to cancel your contract after you go home and call your lawyer.

When you leave, go to another store, rinse repeat.

ofc you have to be pretty motivated individual to try this more than once. Ofc the more you try the better your chances are. If all else fails, wait for an upgrade or play with a demo. lol.

Ok, last thing im going to say on this subject:

This phone from samsung really is a gamble (a lot of people are waiting to see if the captivate is going to live up to expectations). If you end up not getting it and you dont have an upgrade coming up, dont let it get you down. Phones are constantly being released with better specs than the ones before. You can always get an aria, their one of the better phones this quarter and have a cheaper off contract price.

*edit* i hear the majority of people that call have failed to get straight answers. All the success stories result from people driving to different stores and talking to them face to face.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
I have had an upgrade since January. I have been waiting for att to get an android phone and now its here. I will threaten them with letting my contract expire since it is up on August 8th. damn its been a long two years.
[Captivate General] NOSintake:
I JUST got the ability to upgrade about 2 weeks ago...but I really need a phone, this one is literally on it's last leg. I was planning on getting this non contract, save my upgrade for something better, or jump ship come end of my contract. This is sad, they may lose a good amount of business for this.

I wonder if there is a way for the people that got early review models to send out their info pack they got stating it was $350 (Tech reviewers such as Phonedog or Jon4Lakers). That's an official price given to them right?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
If you're in good with someone and they feel like sending you copies then it would certainly bolster your argument. The more proof you have of why you believe the price is 350 the better.
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
The price was never actually advertised as being $350 anywhere so I wish you luck. Get the manager if necessary and be polite because you'll never get anywhere being an ahole to the rep who had nothing to do with it.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
Exactly. Facebook and Twitter is not an official way to advertise price. Even though they are AT&T employees, I don't think we could get away with using the false advertisement scheme.
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
Here, If anyone needs this image of the receipt as proof for att.

You guys are hilarious. Screenshots of Facebook/Twitter isn't going to make a CSR sell you a phone less than what they sell it for. And a receipt of someone else's isn't either.
[Captivate General] nahrah:
Doesn't hurt to try!!
[Captivate General] NOSintake:
I'm just confused I guess. If I write on Facebook or Twitter what I'm doing and where I am, and that can be held in a court of law against me, then why can't AT&T saying they will sell the phone for $349 not hold? Are they not the same thing?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
im not going to pretend to have intimate knowledge of the law, but it stands to reason that if an employee representing the company receieved knowledge that the price is 350 and conveyed that price through popular mediums (face book and twitter) all over the country, then when you show up in store expecting a 350 dollar price they better honor that promise.

Consequences of not honoring their listed price could include restitution for lost wages, and psychological distress. Right? I mean what if you need that phone for your job or something?

Im just sayin...
